Chapter 19: The Girl's Promise, Heaven Dou City
"Ye family?"
Dragon Lord Meng Shu frowned slightly, and the eagerness in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by a hint of regret.
Although the Ye family has a small population, the Nine-Hearted Begonia Spirit holds a special status, and its influence in Heaven Dou City and even the empire is not insignificant.
A guest official of the Ye family is indeed not someone the Meng family can easily poach. Forcible poaching would only offend the Ye family.
The smile on his face faded a little, but he maintained the demeanor of a senior. He laughed heartily, and his tone turned calm:
"So you're the Ye family's hero! No wonder you have such an extraordinary bearing! It was I who was rude.
The Ye family and my Meng family have some dealings. Since you are a guest of the Ye family, you are one of us.
Don't take my words to heart, my friend."
Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang also put on a smile again, but this time there was less of a solicitous tone in her smile.
"So he's from the Ye family. That's what I was wondering, where did such a powerful young man come from?
Yiran, look, he is a distinguished guest of the Ye family."
When Meng Yiran saw the token engraved with the begonia flower, the little expectation in her heart deflated instantly like a popped balloon.
An indescribable feeling of loss came over her.
She thought... she thought... She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.
She felt the heat on her face, which had just subsided, rise again, but this time it was not due to shyness, but an inexplicable sourness.
It turns out he has a "family," the Ye family, famous for their healing skills...
"Senior, you are too kind. It is my bad luck that I don't have the chance to serve the Meng family."
Xiao Yin put away the token and said, "Senior, I have long admired your great reputation. It is truly a great honor to meet you today."
"Haha, you're welcome, young friend." Dragon Lord Meng Shu waved his hand, his attitude having shifted.
The atmosphere changed from solicitation to pure polite greetings.
The two sides chatted for a few insignificant words about their experiences in the forest and the scenery of Heaven Dou City, and Xiao Yin responded appropriately.
After a while, Dragon Lord and Snake Lady said goodbye: "My dear Xiao, my wife and I need to take Yiran to take care of some personal matters, so we'll say goodbye here. We'll see you again in Heaven Dou City."
"Goodbye, seniors, Miss Yiran, see you later." Xiao Yin bowed.
Meng Yiran followed behind her grandparents, her steps hesitant.
As she was about to turn around, she finally mustered up the courage and quickly raised her head to glance at Xiao Yin, her cheeks flushed with the shyness that only a young girl could have.
"Xiao... Xiao Yin, I... I will go to the Ye family to look for... look for you!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yin's response, she quickly turned around and left, leaving behind only her slender figure and slightly red ears.
Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang turned around and gave Xiao Yin a meaningful look, with a mischievous smile on her face.
Dragon Lord Meng Shu also shook his head helplessly, but there was not much objection in his eyes.
This is the privilege of genius.
Xiao Yin stood there, watching Meng Yiran's disappearing figure, then looked down at the Ye family token in his hand, and a complex arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Unexpectedly, this token came in handy so soon, and it also came with a "little trouble."
He shook his head, put away the token, and set foot on the official road leading to Heaven Dou City.
The ten-thousand-year whale glue and the pursuit of greater power were his current goals.
As for the girl's shy promise... let's talk about it when we get to Heaven Dou City.
-----------------
Three days later, Heaven Dou City.
The city wall, tens of meters high, was made of hard granite and had a cold and hard luster in the sun.
Flags fluttered on the city walls, and guards in shining armor stood solemnly, exuding the majesty of the heart of the empire.
The official road leading to the city gate was crowded with people and noisy with carriages and horses.
Xiao Yin restrained his ferocious aura from the forest and stood at the end of the team entering the city like an ordinary soul master.
The team moved forward slowly. Xiao Yin closed his eyes and rested, thinking about how to get information about the ten-thousand-year whale glue as quickly as possible after entering the city.
The Ye family's token... it was a favor, but he didn't want to use it unless necessary.
Just when it was his turn in the team, he heard impatient shouting and the clatter of horses' hooves from behind him.
"Get out of the way! Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that my carriage is coming? Get out of my way!"
A gorgeously decorated carriage was trying to force its way to the front of the team from the side.
The driver was an arrogant servant. A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a young face full of arrogance and domineering.
The young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in luxurious clothes, clearly a child of nobility.
His goal was clear: to cut in front of Xiao Yin!
"I'm talking to you! You country bumpkin back there! Are you deaf? Get out of my way!"
When the noble young master saw Xiao Yin closing his eyes and not responding to his scolding, he immediately became angry and pointed at Xiao Yin's nose, cursing.
Xiao Yin slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the noble young master calmly, and then closed his eyes again.
He didn't even have the interest to speak to this bully.
"You... how dare you ignore this young master?!"
When had the noble young master ever suffered such indifference?
Especially in front of the city gate where everyone was watching!
He felt like his face was being trampled on the ground, and he instantly became furious!
"Good! Very good! Lang!
Teach this ignorant pariah a lesson! Break his legs and let him know what respect and inferiority mean!"
The young nobleman gave a stern order to a burly guard standing beside the carriage.
"Yes, Young Master!" The guard named Lang responded with a grim smile on his face.
He took a step forward, and four spirit rings rose up instantly under his feet!
White, yellow, yellow, and purple!
Four spirit rings, the cultivation level of a Soul Ancestor!
"Boy, you dare to offend our young master, you're in trouble!"
Lang growled, his muscles suddenly swelled, and a ferocious aura burst out.
Behind him appeared the shadow of a giant green wolf with bared fangs—the Green Wind Wolf spirit!
He did not use any soul skills, apparently thinking that the pressure of a Soul Ancestor after being possessed by his spirit would be enough to deal with a young man who looked only about ten years old.
His big hand, like a palm-leaf fan, brought with it a fierce gust of wind and grabbed Xiao Yin's shoulder fiercely!
The people queuing around screamed in surprise and stepped back, fearing they would be affected.
Many people looked at Xiao Yin with sympathy.
Having offended a noble and being attacked by a Soul Ancestor guard, the outcome would probably be dire.
However, just when Lang's hand was about to touch Xiao Yin's shoulder—
Xiao Yin suddenly opened his eyes again!
This time, his eyes were no longer calm, but became as icy cold as the Nine Netherworld Cold Pond!
A terrifying pressure originating from ancient times, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, swept across with him as the center!
This pressure was invisible and intangible, but it was as heavy as a mountain and as violent as the abyss!
It was not the oppression of soul power, but the absolute suppression of a higher-level bloodline and status!
The target was directly aimed at the Green Wind Wolf Soul Ancestor who had just completed the possession of his spirit—Lang!
"Hoo-woo!!!"
The shadow of the Green Wind Wolf behind Lang let out a shrill wail the moment it came into contact with this terrifying pressure!
The originally ferocious look was instantly replaced by boundless fear and submission!
The huge shadow trembled violently and almost collapsed!
As for Lang, the host of the spirit, he felt like he was struck by lightning!
He felt that the Green Wind Wolf Spirit in his body was as humble as dust in front of that indescribable terrifying aura!
A fear from the deepest part of his soul instantly overwhelmed all his consciousness!
"Plop!"
This Soul Ancestor who possessed four spirit rings was unable to even let out a scream. His knees softened, and he fell directly to the ground!
The entire area in front of the city gate fell into dead silence in an instant!
You could hear a pin drop!
Everyone was stunned by this incredible scene!
A powerful Soul Ancestor with four spirit rings, without even touching the edge of the opponent's clothes, was frightened to his knees by a single look?!
What... what is going on?!
The hideous smile on the noble young master's face froze instantly, turning into extreme astonishment and confusion.
His mouth opened wide, his mind going blank.
Xiao Yin didn't even glance at Lang, who had fainted on the ground. His cold gaze swept across the stunned noble young master like a sharp sword.
The noble young master felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head when he was swept by this gaze!
His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.
This... where did this monster come from?!
